With a good bullet I wouldn't hesitate to use the 25 06 on a moose. I've yet to recover a 115 Partition and the furthest one has gone is about 30 feet from a good lung hit. The moose I got last fall was 625 pounds dressed on the hook hanging. That bull never took a step. Took out both lungs and broke the far shoulder upon bullet exiting.
That's impressive!
I truly enjoy hunting with my 25-06, but have never tried it on anything bigger than mule deer. I did carry it on one local elk hunt, with handloaded 115 Nosler Partitions, but never took a shot. Nice to learn that it did so well on moose!
Twelve years now I've been hunting with the 25-06, and I've been surprised with how many people tell me they rely on it for elk, black bear, and now... moose!
Thanks for the info. Guy
